Detailed Step-by-Step Summary: Adding Prep Products via Web Portal
Introduction to Adding Prep Products
- Accessing the Web Portal: Log in to the web portal and navigate to the “Products” tab on the left side. This tab displays all products associated with your account, similar to what you would see on the device itself.
Step 1: Adding a New Product
- Selecting Category: Click “Add New” at the top of the page to create a new product. For example, add “Celery Soup” to the “Soups” category.
- Expiry Override: Optionally, set an expiry override to ensure the product has a specific expiry time regardless of storage location settings. For example, set “Celery Soup” to always expire in 4 days.
Step 2: Adding Allergens and Other Details
- Allergen Management: Click the “Add Allergen” button to include allergens like celery. You can also add custom allergen warnings or “May Contain” notes as needed.
- Label Preview: View a label preview at the bottom of the page to see how the product information will appear on the printed label.
Step 3: Syncing and Editing Products
- Ensuring Device Sync: To display the product on multiple devices, ensure the category is assigned to those devices. For example, “Celery Soup” will appear on all devices where the “Soups” category is active.
- Locking Products: Products created on the web portal can be locked to prevent edits on individual devices, maintaining consistency across all locations. Locked products will show as non-editable on the device.
Step 4: Managing Products Across Devices
- Editing and Sharing: Products can be edited or shared across devices by detaching them from the original device and assigning them to new categories. This is useful for ensuring that products created on one device are available across multiple venues.
By following these steps, you can efficiently add, manage, and customize prep products through the web portal, ensuring that your product information is consistent and accurate across all devices. The ability to lock and sync products across multiple locations provides greater control and flexibility in managing your labeling system.
